Schulhoff: String Sextet & Strauss: Metamorphosen

The string sextet by Erwin Schulhoff and Richard Strauss‘ Metamorphosen are two works that were written as a reaction to personal experience of war. Schulhoff had to serve in the army in Italy and started composing the sextet in 1920 after he returned from war. As an old man, Strauss experienced not only his hometown being destroyed in World War II, but also “his world”.
